After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Chapter 103 Entanglement

Su Wan stared at the figure in amazement. She quickly walked out and closed the door. She squinted her eyes and looked at him cautiously, "Prince Xiao?"

A head appeared at the corner, and Xiao Yucheng was grinning with his teeth bared, looking a little scary.

Seeing Su Wan's serious expression, he coughed lightly and shook the jade pendant on his waist, saying, "Well, I was afraid you would be in danger, so I came here to guard you."

After saying this, he was still looking at the other person with a smile, but suddenly he remembered Xie Yin's sinister and treacherous face, and he shut his mouth.

Seeing that Su Wan didn't believe him, he compromised but said confidently, "That bastard Xie Yin used my name to invite someone out. Doesn't this prince have the right to say a word to him? I'm really at a loss. I got nothing and still have the reputation of a playboy."

Su Wan sighed, "Then why did you eavesdrop? Couldn't you just knock on the door?"

At that moment, she really thought that Zheng Yanchen's men had discovered something, but if they were really enemies, how could the secret guards turn a blind eye?

Xiao Yucheng groaned, "Well, old man, Madam Fang is here, I'm afraid your Mingxiangxuan will be too noisy."

Su Wan thought this was true, but she always felt something was wrong.

"Zheng Yanchen suddenly wants to see me, so I won't talk to you any more. Madam Fang is inside, so please do as you please."

"Zheng Yanchen?" Xiao Yucheng's eyes widened and he almost cried out, "What does he want from you? In broad daylight."

Su Wan pursed her lips and said, "It's not a good thing. I have to hold him back. It's good that the prince is here. If there is a crisis, he may need your help." Looking at Su Wan's smile, Xiao Yucheng felt like he had seen it before.

Su Wan gave a few more instructions to the people around her and went downstairs. Xiao Yucheng looked around and quickly leaned over the door to look through the crack.

When Su Wan went downstairs, she saw Zheng Yanchen waiting for her at the stairs. Su Wan, wearing a veil hat, looked around. There were not many people drinking tea today.

Su Wan came before Zheng Yanchen and bowed, "Mr. Zheng, what do you want from me?"

Zheng Yanchen lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him wearing a veil with an extremely indifferent attitude, feeling relieved.

"I have something to talk to Madam Su about. I wanted to book a private room just now but was stopped by the steward here." Zheng Yanchen said unhappily.

Su Wan smiled politely, "Mr. Zheng and I are not suitable to be in the same room because of our status. Why don't we stay in this corner quietly?"

Zheng Yanchen took a glance and walked over with a cold face.

After sitting down, Zheng Yanchen's eyes were complicated. "The county lady is not the same as before. I am a little worried."

Zheng Yanchen still cared about Su Wan's rejection of him. He had no place to stay in front of those dignitaries. He really didn't expect Su Wan to treat him like this.

"Mr. Zheng, you're too kind. My biggest feeling since coming to the capital is that etiquette and law are paramount. I really don't want to be criticized anymore. I wonder what Mr. Zheng wants from me?"

Zheng Yanchen lowered his head and calmed down, "Has Mr. Su ever returned to the Su family?"

Su Wan's eyes were sharp. "No, my father said that he would never set foot in the capital again. Besides, the people here are eyeing him covetously. Even if it's for his life, he shouldn't come to this troubled place."

Zheng Yanchen frowned, knowing that Su Wan was hinting at something.

"Has he ever contacted you?"

"What does Mr. Zheng want to say? You don't seem to be very close to my father. Asking about him doesn't mean you care about him, right?" Su Wan didn't want to delay with the person opposite her.

"My Zheng family has fallen into this state thanks to someone with ulterior motives, but my family cannot continue to be trampled upon by others like this."

Su Wan stared at Zheng Yanchen coldly, saying nothing.

"You and I are husband and wife. I hope you can help me out of our old relationship."

Su Wan frowned, "What can I do?"

"Military token." Zheng Yanchen's tone darkened as he looked directly at Su Wan. "Please, County Lady, help me find the military token."

Su Wan was surprised, "Mr. Zheng, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know, and I also know that you have known about the affairs of Taohua Valley for a long time but have been pretending to be deaf and dumb. Even as the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, you just watched me worry about the family every day and never thought of helping me solve my problems. Now that the Zheng family is thanks to you, shouldn't you help me?" Zheng Yanchen's face turned red with anxiety.

Although this is a bit shameless, what he said is the truth. Su Wan's attitude is indeed a bit cruel. Doesn't she have any guilt at all?

"According to Mr. Zheng, if I don't help, I'd be ungrateful and uncaring, right? But what kindness has your Zheng family ever shown me? Exclusion? Suppression? Or even the killing of my family?"

Zheng Yanchen's pupils shrank, but he saw Su Wan continue: "Should I kneel down to repay you for such a favor?"

Zheng Yanchen stood up suddenly, pointed at Su Wan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have never wanted to kill your relatives. Don't lie!"

Su Wan smiled coldly, "I foolishly thought you were just concerned about your reputation, but I forgot that you are a family, and your shamelessness is innate."

How could Zheng Yanchen tolerate such humiliation? Even if they had fallen on hard times, the Zheng family was still a well-established aristocratic family and would not tolerate a wild girl like Su Wan giving them instructions.

"Do you think you're superior to me just because you became the county lord? You and Xie Yin did something good, and you still have the nerve to use it to lecture me?"

"Snapped!"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Zheng Yanchen covered his face and looked at Su Wan with his eyes wide open.

His chest was heaving with anger as he came to Su Wan and tried to grab her arm, but Liu Shang got there first, knocking his hand away and yelling, "What are you doing?"

Zheng Yanchen's face froze, and he saw Liu Shang shouting, "Someone, come and see, the second son of the Zheng family is acting like a hooligan."

Zheng Yanchen hurriedly stood further away to indicate that he meant no harm, but a man behind him ran out the door and said, "Come and see, the Second Young Master of the Zheng family is harassing the Princess of Jiahe County. Come and see, the Young Master of the Zheng family is bullying a weak woman."

At once, all the tea drinkers on the first floor turned their heads, and those in the private rooms upstairs opened their doors upon hearing the noise, and all leaned over the fences to watch the excitement.

Su Wan ran to the door with an aggrieved look on her face. Zheng Yanchen was at a loss as to what to do and chased her out, only to see a circle of people gathered at the door.

"Mr. Zheng, you and the county lady have been divorced for so long, why are you still pestering her? You don't want to get back together with her, do you? Don't forget that you have a woman at home who is about to give birth." A man in brown linen clothes said disdainfully.

Then the men and women around echoed, "Yeah, how shameless you are! You've forgotten how you treated others in the first place."

"Who is it? Who is bullying me?" Xiao Yucheng ran out of the teahouse excitedly and looked around. He walked through the crowd and came to Zheng Yanchen, pointing at him and said, "Hey! What are you doing? Are you a man?"

How dare you bully Xie Yin’s sweetheart? You want to die!

Zheng Yanchen shook his head and hurriedly explained to Xiao Yucheng.

The man in the brown linen shirt watched the people around him point and talk, and then saw Zheng Yanchen blushing and at a loss. He stepped out of the crowd and looked up at the building opposite. Upstairs, Xie Yin nodded with a smile on his face, told Jingzhe to take good care of Su Wan, and then turned back to the Su Mansion.

Su Yanshu did not go to work today and stayed at home with Su Taifu. Su Taifu did not know what had happened and often asked what Su Wan was doing, but Su Yanshu always evaded the question.

Seeing Xie Yin coming, Su Yanshu looked unhappy. Xie Yin thought of Su Wan who also didn't smile. Without waiting for Su Yanshu to speak, he walked over and sat down.
